Book
1938: For Camilla Kerrigan, life at her family's Oxford manor is a delicate balancing act - between duty to her family and a yearning for something more. When her brother Anthony returns for the summer, bringing with him a new friend, Camilla recognises a kindred spirit. Like her, Henry is thoughtful, restless and uncertain of his future. But the arrival of four strangers - among them a gifted artist determined to paint Camilla's sister Mabel - soon shatters the fragile peace of the manor. In the shimmering heat, desires are stirred and one impulsive act will set in motion a tragedy that echoes for decades.1952: Haunted by war and the memory of that long-ago summer, the last thing Henry wants is to return to Montagu Manor. But when a photograph arrives, showing the painting he thought destroyed - the portrait that ruined so many lives - he is drawn back into the past. Now, Henry and Camilla must face the secrets that shaped them.
